3 reasons to wear pink on February 26
Recently, many countries have designated specific days to raise awareness and prevent bullying, whether at school or in the workplace. In Canada, Pink Shirt Day takes place on Wednesday, February 26, 2025.
Here are three excellent reasons to join the movement by proudly wearing the event’s emblematic colour:
Incite enriching conversations. Pink is a colour that doesn’t go unnoticed! When you’re out and about on February 26, you may meet or talk with other people who are passionate about the cause. You may even meet someone who doesn’t know about the day, giving you the perfect chance to spread awareness. Who knows, maybe they’ll wear pink next year, thanks to you!
Show solidarity. People who are bullied often feel alone and isolated. Seeing others wearing pink can help them feel supported and understood. Your gesture might even encourage them to open up to you or, even better, speak out against their aggressor.
Encourage others to act. Wearing pink can help encourage your family, colleagues and friends to join the cause. Inspired by your actions, some of your friends and family might feel motivated to stand up against bullying, attend events or spread awareness on social media.
On February 26, harness the power of kindness and inclusion by wearing a pink t-shirt or hoodie.
